Text	De rebus gestis Rogerii Calabriae et Siciliae comitis et Roberti Guiscardi ducis fratris eius (1075 - 1100) Geoffrey Malaterra
Quotation	Graeci vero et Sarraceni, quibus omnis patria favens pro libito patebat, plurima replebantur abundantia. Neque enim necesse illis erat, victum quaerendo, aliquorsum vagari, quippe quibus omnis Sicilia, quaeque necessaria erant, certatim deferens ultra, suppeditabat.
Translation	However the Greeks and Saracens, with the whole country supporting them and furnishing what they wanted, were fed in abundance. They had no need to search for food or to roam around anywhere, since all Sicily provided the supplies which they needed, which were eagerly brought in from other areas.
